title: Pancreatic receptors for cholecystokinin: evidence for three receptor classes.
abstract: For inhibition of binding of 125I-Bolton-Hunter-labeled cholecystokinin octapeptide (125I-BH-CCK-8) to guinea pig pancreatic acini, the potencies for agonists were CCK-8 greater than desulfated [des(SO3)] CCK-8 greater than gastrin-17-I greater than pentagastrin greater than CCK-4 and for the antagonists L 364718 greater than proglumide analogue 10 greater than CBZ-CCK-(27-32)-NH2. For all non-sulfated agonists, the curves were biphasic with 20% of the tracer bound to sites with high affinity for these agonists with the following relative potencies: gastrin-17-I greater than pentagastrin greater than des(SO3)CCK-8 much greater than CCK-4; whereas 80% was bound to low-affinity sites with the following potencies: des(SO3)CCK-8 greater than gastrin-17-I = pentagastrin much greater than CCK-4. For L 364718 and proglumide analogue 10, 80% of 125I-BH-CCK-8 was bound to sites with high affinity for these antagonists and 20% to sites with low affinity. Analysis of the dose-inhibition curve for CCK-8 demonstrated two binding sites; however, comparison with the analysis in the presence of 0.1 microM gastrin-17-I suggested three binding sites. The gastrin-17-I dose-inhibition curve was significantly better fit by a three-site model than by a two-site model. The affinities of the various agonists and antagonists for the three sites were compared with their abilities to inhibit binding of 125I-gastrin-I and either stimulate or inhibit CCK-8-stimulated amylase release. These results demonstrate that 125I-BH-CCK-8 binds to three classes of receptors, not two as reported previously. Two classes are CCK-preferring, bind 83% of 125I-BH-CCK-8 at tracer concentrations, and comprise high- and low-affinity CCK-preferring sites that can be distinguished by all agonists but have equally high affinity for L 364718 and proglumide 10. A third class binds 17% of the tracer, cannot be differentiated from high-affinity CCK-preferring receptors by CCK-8, and has low affinities for L 364718 and proglumide 10. Future studies relating binding of 125I-BH-CCK-8 to biological activity or characterization of the CCK receptor by using radiolabeled agonists should consider CCK interaction with three receptors, not two as was done in the past.
